Bring your little explorers to the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary for a fun interactive experience called Storybook Walk. Each month we display pages from a new book for visitors to read as they travel along our accessible ¾ mile Paved Path. This interactive outdoor experience allows families to enjoy reading and learning together in nature.

• Book Title for October: I am a Bird, by Hope Lim (Author), Hyewon Yum (Illustrator)
• Book Summary: Every day, a little girl rides to school on the back of her father’s bike.
    As they twist and turn through the streets, the little girl spreads her arms like wings
    and sings her birdsong for all to hear. But when they pass a strange woman in blue
    who carries a mysterious bag, the girl goes quiet until the woman is out of sight. One
    day, when they’re running late, the little girl discovers what the woman does with her
    bag each morning- a surprise that transforms her wariness into a feeling of kinship to
    be celebrated.  This is a touching story about focusing on similarities, not differences.
• Audience: Family
